Turnover Number
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
In enzyme kinetics, we are interested to know how many maximum molecules of substrate can be converted into product per catalytic site of a given concentration of enzyme per unit time.

with
- The units of Turn over number (kcat) are kcat = (moles of product/sec)/ (moles of enzyme) or sec-1.
